"Okay, I will do it now," Claire gently replied, taking the soup from her mother's hands. Then she walked out of the hospital room.
"Alas! What the hell is wrong with Leena? Why hasn't she woken up yet? Does she really have the heart to hurt us like this? It's breaking my heart seeing her in this state." Shannon carefully combed Leena's hair. When Claire told her that her daughter-in-law was indeed a fashion designer, she was a bit shocked. She didn't expect a girl from a wealthy family would make a living on her own. After all, it was common for children from rich families to spend their parents' money. But Leena was an exception. She was intelligent, talented and independent. And it pleasantly surprised Shannon. Her daughter-in-law couldn't get any more perfect.
"Mom, I have to go to the army base this afternoon. So please take good care of Leena for me." In Kevin's heart, he really wanted Leena to wake up, soon, now, if possible. But there was no sign of her waking up, as if she was intentionally making him suffer for what he had done wrong by keeping her eyes closed.
"Of course. What's the matter? Is there something at the army base that you need to deal with?" Shannon would surely take care of Leena. She considered this girl her own daughter. And at the same time, she was also worried about her son's health. He still looked a little too tired for her liking. She really hoped that he could at least get enough rest.
"Yes mom.. It's a bit urgent. So I need to go now. But don't worry. I will be back here as soon as I can." Kevin stared at Leena, who was still sound asleep, feeling a bit helpless about this situation. He really wanted to be by her side at all times, but he had work to attend to. He was slowly getting frustrated. He really loved Leena and this was something that he recently realized. And he was thankful that she was willing to be in love with him, even though he hadn't been treating her right. At the same time, he couldn't help but be mad at her for not believing in him, for punishing him this way. He didn't know what else to do now, except patiently wait.
The sun was beaming down on the whole city on a cold winter day. Patricia got to Renxin Hospital in a hurry. If she hadn't called Leena's number and heard the news from Kevin who answered the phone, she wouldn't have known that an accident had happened to Leena and she was in a coma. She immediately came to the hospital to pay her best friend a visit. Unfortunately, she got lost as soon as she got inside the hospital. She couldn't find the VIP room that Kevin told her about. She was anxious all of a sudden. Luckily, there was a man in a white coat ahead of her.
"Hey! Handsome doctor! Can you please tell me where the VIP rooms are? I think I am lost." Patricia had been going in circles for quite a moment, but she couldn't even find a single person, not to mention a hospital room. Maybe she was in the wrong place? Was this place not the in-patient department? But why wasn't there a single person around? Could this place be the mortuary? Patricia was confused, also a bit scared that she had come to the floor where the dead bodies were stored
But the handsome doctor, who turned out to be Tom, didn't seem to pay attention to Patricia. He continued walking, because he didn't think that the doctor she was calling was indeed him. Though they were in fact in the mortuary as Patricia guessed, there were still a few people around. So he just ignored her and kept walking, not even turning around.
